HC Deb 06 December 1920 vol 135 c1764W
Sir R. BLADES

asked the Minister of Food when it is proposed to remove the control on re-exportation of American tinned fruits and American or Canadian red salmon?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The re-exportation of American tinned fruits is at present allowed under licence within a maximum quantity per month, which for some time has not been reached. This restriction will be removed altogether at an early date. With regard to American and Canadian red salmon, an arrangement has been made with representatives of the importers under which facilities are provided for the re-export of red salmon purchased for that purpose, and this arrangement is working satisfactorily.
